EB-1 Green Card Lawyer
Permanent Residence for Extraordinary Talent
We help businesses secure EB-1 green cards for executives, researchers, and top performers—quickly and compliantly.
Why Choose EB-1 for Key Talent?
The EB-1 category sidesteps PERM recruitment, remains current in most visa bulletins, and extends work authorization to dependents—making it the fastest, least-burdensome path to permanent residence for top performers.
EB-1A: Extraordinary Ability
For top-tier achievers who can self-petition by showing a major award or at least three qualifying forms of national or international acclaim.
EB-1B: Outstanding Professors & Researchers
For scholars with global recognition and 3 + years’ experience; requires a U.S. university or research sponsor but avoids PERM.
EB-1C: Multinational Executives
For senior managers or executives moving from an overseas affiliate to a U.S. branch after at least one qualifying year abroad, leading straight to permanent residence.

EB-1 Quick FAQ
Straight answers to the questions we hear every day
How long does an EB-1 take?
With premium processing, USCIS decides the I-140 in two weeks; adjustment of status or consular processing usually adds six to twelve months.
Is a job offer required?
EB-1A applicants can self-petition, but EB-1B professors or researchers and EB-1C executives need a permanent full-time job offer from a qualifying employer.
What does EB-1 do?
The EB-1 category grants top talent and their families U.S. permanent residence, enabling unrestricted work and travel plus a pathway to citizenship.
